Oh ! can the nvjfing hours of grief A pause from keen remembrance know; Or rooted for row rind relief From empty Lrrovvs of outward wee ? Can fortune’s fmiies lm peace icitore ? Or can the 1.. long and dance, Where ptea yk’s leliive tiain, in ail The mazy rounds ol joy advance ?

Savannah, March 25th. Cotton Ginning. TH E Subscriber is empowered by Mr. £ F E, o( the Bahama Klancb, to receive a fubicription for his Cot ton Ginning Machine. Ge.- tieman ot the Hates ot Soutr.-Carolina and Georgia, who may wish to become (übferibers, are requeited to (e,,d ior ward their names as soon as convenient, in order that the fubfeription may be closed. Mr. Eve will engage to deliv er the Machine, independent of thepow er that impels it, in Savannah, for fifty guineas. On Mr. Eve’s part, he con tracts that this Machine will gin 30olbs. ot clean cotton per day, with a fmali impelling power either of wind, of wa ter, or ot horses. This machine in a lew days, and with a trying expence, can be attached to any machine in use for other purposes, fuchas rice machines, saw or grid mills. Mr. Eve will fend over a person competent to set them in motion, and fully to explain their sev eral powers. From fome fmali expe riments that have been made upon the green feed cotton it appears that from 150 to 20olbs. can be ginned in this machine per day. For further informa tion upon this fubjeft I beg leave to re fer gentlemen to the undersigned certi ficate from a refpeftable Cotton Plan ter of this date, who has been an eye witness o( the execution done by this machine, and to various certificates that have come out at different times in the Bahama papers, signed by the mod ref peftable Planters in that country. Fur ther particulars will be made known upon application from any gentleman who may with to become a fubferiber. Ths machine has met with uni venal ap probation in every part of the Wed- Indies to which it has been sent. THOMAS SPALDING. GEORGIA, Chatham County. IDO certify, that, being on a vifitfor my health to New Providence, one oi the Bahama Illands, I was induced to make an experiment on Mr. Eve’s Cot ton Ginning Machine of the green feed cotton, commonly cultivated in the back country of the southern dates, and sent to Savannah for a fmali quantity there of, which on experiment I found to an lwer. Ihe rainy frafon setting in a oout the rime I received the cotton the whole was not ginned, but Mr. Eve af iured me his machine was competent, trom the calculation he had made, to mean out in good weather two hundred weight of clean cotton in the course of a day. The machine separates the feed from the cotton by rollers without do ing any injury to the dapie, and, from a (ample of lead and cotton in possession oi the fubferibee, any gentleman can be immediately convinced of the truth o( this opinion. During my day in Nas sau I frequently visited Mr. Eve’s ma chine which was impelled by wind, and never saw more than two people attend ing the fame, one a grown person and the other a fmali boy. This machine is capable of being attached to aimed any of thofc u(ed for various purposes in this country ; rhe condruftion appears by no means complex, and every planter of consequence in the Bahamas is in the praftice of using them.
